grandmas halloweenbasket logToday I took my 2 oldest to the nursing home. They are instantly bored when there is a day off from school so what could be better than helping great grandma and her friend build a Halloween basket. My grandmother is 91 and her friend is near that age. She keeps the staff at the nursing home hopping with ideas. Today I brought in several images cut from the cricut. They were tickled to use the xyron to turn the images into stickers. This is a great tool for me and them.  No glue needed, even the little parts get sticky.  It makes placing pieces easier then using a glue pen or a adhesive roller.  They got the biggest buzz about that machine putting the glue on. The kids hot glued the images to skewers and added the candy. The ladies did the arranging.

I wasn’t sure how much they could do so we played it by ear. The next time I go we will make multiple baskets and add embellishments because they had a terrific time and so did we. If you have a nursing home in your neighborhood I can guarantee they would enjoy doing crafts with you. You will meet some very interesting people and will leave with a warm heart.
